The Russian company AtomStroyExport has offered to supply two new reactors for the Belene nuclear power plant. This is one of the options the Russian company is offering for the completion of the power plant. AtomStroyExprt is offering reactors which can be used for 60 years. Currently, the Belene plant has one Czech reactor, which can be used for 40 years. The second option the Russian company is offering is the completion and modernisation of the first block, followed by the creation of a second one. The company is also offering the creation of a passive security system, which turns on automatically in case of a technical failure.
The deadline for submitting Belene offers is February 1. Apart from the Russians, the Czech consortium Skoda Allianz is also participating. If the Czech consortium wins, it will have to work together with Russian nuclear companies, as the Belene project and equipment supplied is Russian, Standart newspaper reported.
